What ArmchairGeneral.com Seeks in Game Reviewers
Writers should be above-average writers whose work requires minimal editing and reflects a good working knowledge of grammar, spelling and punctuation. They should be knowledgeable about games and gaming and give a fair review based on the game itself, rather than one based purely on personal preferences. They must be capable of conducting sufficient playtests and writing the review within a reasonable amount of time; gamers want to know about new releases now, not six months or a year from now.
